[magick-users] (small size) resize image for the web

[Fred Weinhaus]

try

convert image -thumbnail -quality XX -depth 8 -type palette result.jpg



or use gif and reduce the colors.

convert image -thumbnail -depth 8 -colors YY -type palette result.gif

where YY<256

-thumbnail is like -resize but strips the profiles and such.
